All of this stuff flying around about who's got the best and most challenging wreck dives reminds me of a story: The Florida wreck diver and his egg There once was a Florida wreck dive and a NorthEastern wreck diver who lived next door to each other. The Florida man owned a hen and each morning would look in his garden and pick up one of his hen's eggs for breakfast. One day he looked into his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the NorthEastern man's garden. He was about to go next door when he saw the NorthEastern man pick up his egg. The Florida man ran up to the NorthEastern man and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The NorthEastern man disagreed because the egg was laid on his property. They argued for a while until finally the Florida man said, "In my family we normally solve disputes by the following actions: I kick you in the balls and time how long it takes you to get back up, then you kick me in the balls and time how long it takes for me to get up, whoever gets up quicker wins the egg." The NorthEastern man agreed to this and so the Florida man found his heaviest pair of boots and put them on, he took a few steps back, then ran toward the NorthEastern man and kicked as hard as he could in the balls. The NorthEastern man fell to the floor clutching his nuts howling in agony for 30 minutes. Eventually the NorthEastern man stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to kick you." The Florida man said, "Keep the damm egg." You can substitute the Florida man and the NorthEastern man for anybody - Great Lakes Wrecker, England Wrecker, etc. Leave me out of it, I'm from Seattle. -Jon -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
